Majorca neighborhood faces safety crisis as crime and drugs surge

A neighborhood in Palma, Majorca, has become a dangerous area filled with drugs, guns, and prostitution. Once a safe family spot, Plaça Nova de la Ferrería now has streets littered with syringes and reports of violent incidents. Around 50 residents are documenting the decline on social media and calling for city council action. They report drug dealers operating openly and increasing crime, with locals feeling unsafe in their own community. Residents have started an online petition demanding a stronger police presence and the closure of drug and prostitution hotspots. They also cite issues related to a nearby soup kitchen contributing to the area's deterioration.
